What’s Up, Edoc? Lester Grabs Chip Lead!


Jerry Lai opened preflop to 95,000 and found a caller in Lester Edoc and Victorino Torres.

Flop: J 5 9

Edoc opened this round to 120,000 but Lai raised to 460,000 forcing the fold from Torres. With action back to Edoc, the Filipino moved all-in for his final 935,000! Lai called.

Lai: 10 7
Edoc: 8 6

Lai is ahead at this point but needed to dodge a few cards to oust Edoc.

Turn 9 was safe but the river 6 gave Edoc his pair and he takes down the big pot! More importantly, he survives and has now over 2.2M in chips– the current chip leader.
